Oh, raven, I'm so sorry...I hope everything is okayI'll keep my FX'd and be saying a prayer that everything will turn out just fine. She didn't say anything about what it was she saw on the ultrasound?

Thank you everyone. I guess it's possible my LP has extended some and maybe my temp. will come back up or at least not dip any more than it hasJust have to wait and see how the next couple of days go

raven, best of luck for your appointment

 

[NewMrs2011]

Sorry to hear that raven, I think that was really mean of your dr to tell you that then leave you waiting until next week to find out what it is. I'm sure it's nothing too serious though

bnp don't give up hope yet, my fingers are still crossed for you!

Thanks for the advice about the gummy vits Rachel, I have ordered some so looking forward to trying them when they arrive although I've heard mixed reviews about how they taste. Some reviews say they taste like sweeties and others say fish!! I guess I'll soon find out

 

[mrsc81]

Raven hope its nothing too serious and is easily fixed Keep us posted!

 

[cmwilson]

Oh Raven I can't believe your doctor didn't give you further information and is making you wait. I'll pray it's nothing serious and that whatever it is it is an easy fix. I'm sorry your insurance won't cover the fertility specialist. I can't remember will your regular doctor do nothing for you?

 

[bnporter81]

Well, I'm spotting today with a temp. down to 97.7, so AF will be in full swing by tomorrow. Thank you all for your support during my TWW. I'm really bummed that it didn't happen this time, but maybe my lining was just too built up and thick or something. Hopefully this next cycle will be better/shorter and I'll get my BFP.

 

[seabean]

Bethany - I'm sorry about your spotting & temp drop I hope that your next ovulation comes soon! Have you tried pre-seed? That's the one thing that I tried the month that I finally got my BFP. I don't know if it was the reason, but I don't think it hurt! I feel like my husband's soldiers stayed up there longer with it, and I wasn't dry at all. Worth a shot!

Congrats on passing the test Caroline!! I KNEW you would!

Raven - that is such torture to have a looming appointment after a phone call like that. I am praying for you that it's nothing serious!

I know some of you dont see my journal so i will copy and paste here...

So i had my consultant appointment today i was there 2hrs and 20 mins, 2hrs waiting to be seen! The midwife did the usual checks before i went in for my appt, urine, blood pressure etc fine And i got weighed for the first time! That was pretty scary! I was 3lbs up from what i weighed myself on monday but thats because i weigh myself without clothes, i had my boots etc on today, i weighed 70kg (11 stone) I weighed 10st 11lbs without clothes.
The hospital was so busy they couldnt get me in for my growth scan today, but the consultant wants me to go to the other hospital tomorrow (where im having baby) to be monitored, the fetal wellbeing unit isnt open on a saturday so ive got to go to a ward.
Then im booked in at 8.15am on monday with the fetal unit to be monitored and get a growth scan. She wants me to be monitored 2x a week, but i guess that might change depending on the outcome of the growth scan.

 

[bnporter81]

Thanks DeeActually I have used preseed before and we used it this cycle, too

Louise, I hope it all goes okay for you...keep us updated, hon.

AFM, AF decided to go from light spotting to full blown in a matter of a few hours, lol.

 

[mrsc81]

Sorry this wasnt it bethany
Good luck next cycle

 

[Rachel789]

Bethany- sorry af showed Hopefully the metformin straightened things out and you will have a normal cycle this time.

Raven- I hope all turns out ok for you, keep us posted.

Louise-keep us posted on how the scan goes! You and Bex are so close to having your babies I can't believe it!!

 

[Rachel789]

Newmrs- I hope you like the taste of the gummies!

 

[NewMrs2011]

mrsc good luck with your appointment tomorrow tho I'm sure it'll be fine.

bnp sorry AF has arrived. Hopefully your next cycle won't be so bad though

I have some spotting and feel a bit crampy this afternoon. Really hoping it'll turn in to a fully blown AF. I need this cycle over with!

 

[mrsc81]

Good luck newmrs!

fantastic news bex and caroline enjoy eating loads of chocolate to celebrate

I'm so sorry bethany I really hope that you ovulate at a decent time this cycle, fingers crossed that ovulation has just kind of reset everything!

raven, I agree that your doctor shouldn't have said that on the phone! he should have waited and told you at the same time, how awful to be in suspense like that how many days til your appointment?

I'm feeling a bit meh today I don't really fit in anywhere on BnB now so I just lurk around not posting I'm not a mum so can't join in on those discussions, I'm not pregnant so can't join in on those either, I'm not enthusiastic about TTC so don't post in those sections, I'm not doing assisted conception yet so can't post there either I don't really have a place anymore

 

[mrsc81]

Oh Nat! You always have a place here! We miss you when your gone

 

[bnporter81]

Nat, I agree with Louise...I know we always miss you when you're gone! Don't ever feel like you don't belong here!

 

[Diddums]

Well the pink trend is officially over...its a healthy boy!!! My husband and I are so excited!!! I'll try to post a pic tomorrow...

Yay congrats Dee. Very happy for you!!!

I'm fed up CD147, temps all over the place, no sign of AF, no sign of ovulation etc etc

I'm losing weight (slowly) which I hope will help but no change so far and I just feel like months are passing by and nothing is happening The way things are mean I have ZERO chance of anything happening and I'm growing more frustrated by the day.

What can I do to help myself?

NewMrs you are doing all you can. Keep losing the weight and ad should come back. An I right in saying you're in the uk? If that's the case my gp nor my FS would prescribe provera when I had my 200 day cycle. The FS said its because my lining hadn't thicken at all (u/s scan) so I wasn't in any danger. I know exactly how you feel I went 8 months with no real period and was ready to explode as no one was listening or helping me. The weightloss helped my periods return, and the FS said I was lucky as I didn't have to lose much (just over a stone) for my periods to return, it can take a bit longer in some women, but it will happen! I'm here if you wanna chat xxx

i got all my test results back today and not sure about them but the doctor just called and said I need to come in next week for a pap because she is worried about what she saw on my ultrasound...so i am offically freaking out and worried!! More tests in my future and also found out can't go to a fertility specialist since my insurance doesn't cover it at all..

Sorry to hear that Raven hopefully it's nothing but better to be checked out. Have you found out how much your insurance will cover? Hugs xx

Sorry to hear this Lou. At least you get to see bubs and you're being closely examined. Is there a history of big babies in either families? Xx

Nat I agree with the other ladies. You belong here with us! We are always here if you want to chat.

Hubby and I have discusses starting adoption procedures next year. We both want a baby and don't want to wait too long. The adoption procedures in the uk are so long we though we might as well get started. We might also go private next year if my FS doesn't seem helpful!


Congrats on passing your glucos tests ladies. Must be a huge weight lifted! enjoy some delicious chocolate for me as well!

Bethany sorry af got you! Hopefully the metformin is working and you will ovulate soon again! Xxx

Here is an update for me:

Sorry I've been MIA. I'm so busy with work and gym during the week I don't get any free time to come on here! So can only usually update on a weekend!

I was starting to despair this month. I've been gyming pretty much 5/6 times a week but wasn't losing any weight, and to top it all off no signs of ovulation!! Well I started orlistat on Thursday and have already made progress by losing 3.5lbs this week. I don't know whether its the orlistat or because I've started eatin a lot better or the exercise but I don't care. I'm happier again to be losing weight and have faith and happier I will be able to lose the rest of the weight before August. I also got a bit depressed as I thought I wouldn't ovulate this month. I'm on cd25 and had no signs of ovulation. However last night I had a bit of ewcm and has a lot more this morning so think I should get a positive opk today or tomorrow! Happy happy. I took soy 5-9 this cycle as I wanted a nice mature egg and I guess it took a little longer to mature, so fingers crosses my progesterone indicates I ovulate. Not sure what dpo to get progesterone checked. My lp has been 8/9 days so thinking 4dpo?

Keep you fingers crossed ladies xxxx

 

[mrsc81]

Sorry, i dont think i specified, im measuring small - so possible baby is small, will update tomorrow after my scan, monitoring went well well yesterday she seems ok in there.

 

[Diddums]

Sorry Lou! You did. Got a little mixed up. I was on the exercise bike and cross trainer at the gym when I wrote that lol. Sorry x
